Information processing apparatus and configuration method

Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a storage that stores system configuration information, an acquirer that acquires input information generated in a terminal device, and a one or more controllers that perform system configuration processing based on the system configuration information. Based on the input information acquired from the terminal device, the one or more controllers store the system configuration information and performs system configuration processing.

1 . An information processing apparatus comprising:
 a storage that stores system configuration information;   an acquirer that acquires input information generated in a terminal device; and   one or more controllers that perform system configuration processing based on the system configuration information, wherein   based on the input information acquired from the terminal device, the one or more controllers store the system configuration information and perform the system configuration processing.   
     
     
         2 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the storage stores a configuration value for per item as the system configuration information, and   the one or more controllers read at least the configuration value from the input information and store the configuration value in the configuration value of the system configuration information.   
     
     
         3 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein
 the one or more controllers also read items from the input information, and based on the read items, store the configuration values read from the input information in the items of the system configuration information.   
     
     
         4 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein
 the items include a first item related to a configuration necessary for an initial configuration of the information processing apparatus and a second item related to any other configuration, and   the one or more controllers read, from the input information, a configuration value corresponding to at least the first item, and store the configuration value in the configuration value of the system configuration information.   
     
     
         5 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 4 , wherein
 the first item is at least one of a configuration item related to an administrator password and an item related to a network configuration.   
     
     
         6 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the input information is information of an encoded figure, and   the acquirer acquires the input information using an optical scanning scheme.   
     
     
         7 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the one or more controllers output, to the terminal device, information based on the system configuration information used by the terminal device to generate the input information.   
     
     
         8 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the one or more controllers output, to the terminal device, information used by the terminal device to connect to the information processing apparatus.   
     
     
         9 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the one or more controllers output, to the terminal device, unique information for identifying the information processing apparatus. 
     
     
         10 . A configuration method comprising:
 a storage step of storing system configuration information;   an acquisition step of acquiring input information generated in a terminal device; and   a control step of performing system configuration processing based on the system configuration information, wherein   the control step includes storing the system configuration information and performing the system configuration processing, based on the input information acquired from the terminal device.
